The
Omsk Research and Development Institute of Instrument Engineering, which
is a subsidiary of Ruselectronics, has developed a new Russian closed
digital wireless communications system, the TsSS Yantar-T IP (which is
compliant with the TETRA Standard) in order to meet the needs of Russian
special services.

According
to a company press release, the Ruselectronics development will help address
the pressing issue of import substitution when designing professional
mobile wireless communications systems

In
order to develop the new closed communications system, in 2011 the Omsk-based
enterprise signed a partnership and cooperation agreement with Rohde &
Schwarz (Germany)
to deliver and develop TETRA-standard infrastructure equipment produced
by the firm.

In
2012 the Omsk Research and Development Institute of Instrument Engineering
concluded an agreement with Funkwerk to develop and produce Yantar-T IP
explosion-proof mobile digital mobile wireless stations that are compliant
with TETRA standard compliant systems. Today the Omsk Concern's digital
communications system is based on infrastructure equipment made in Russia.
All employees in the base station assembly shop were trained in Germany.

By
working together with foreign companies, the company was able to implement
German standards when producing the base stations Currently work proceeds
as follows: The customer has a chance to become familiar with the capabilities
of the equipment, and if he has no objections the rest of the order is
sent to the customer.

Andrey
Zverev, CEO of Ruselectronics, noted: "The main competitive advantage
of the base station is its compliance with investigative equipment system
requirements achieved by communicating the software's source code. This
is an extremely important consideration for this equipment's customers."

Today
in our country base stations that use closed source software are commonly
used. They are able to transmit a number of system operating parameters
to remote servers abroad (to the USA, Europe, and China), for example,
without notifying Russian law enforcement agencies.

The
production of TETRA standard digital mobile wireless communications systems
and base stations is fully based on open-source software. These systems
are certified for use by the Russian security services, which allows the
system hardware to be used in investigative work.
